Using the iOS WordPress app

Connect your site

To access your WordPress site using the WordPress mobile app, tap Add Self-Hosted Site in the login screen. Enter your username, password, as well as the URL to your site. If your site is connected to Jetpack, you will also need to provide your WordPress.com login information.

If you have more than one sites, you can add them to your WordPress app by going to My Sites and tapping Add a Site. Each site can be managed separately through the app.

Manage your site

Select the My Sites icon, and choose the website you wish to manage. The display screen is your iOS Dashboard for that website. From here you can add or edit Posts, Pages and Comments. You also have Admin access for any website you are an Admin of. That includes Stats for Jetpack and WordPress.com sites, the ability to view the site, edit general settings or access the Admin panel.

Create a post

You can make a post by selecting the icon in the middle of the bottom navigation bar. By default, this will create a post on the last selected site. However, you can change on which site it will be published by selecting it from the drop down on the top navigation bar. You can also create a post by selecting Blog Posts from your site’s iOS Dashboard, and then press the + icon in the upper right corner. You can edit any post by selecting it from the Posts screen.

Styling posts

While writing a post, you can add rich text inline using the buttons just above the keyboard. The default styles include bold, italics, strikethrough, hyperlink, unordered and ordered list, and blockquote. You can also toggle to the raw HTML if you’d like to add more styles in the code.

More post options

You can access additional post options, such as Save Draft, Categories, Featured Image, and more by selecting options at the top of the Post screen. The options button looks like a little cog.

Create a page

You can create a page by selecting Pages from your site’s iOS Dashboard, and then the + icon in the upper right corner. You can edit any page by select it. Same with posts, you can style text in pages using the buttons just above the keyboard.

Adding images

To add an image, tap the image icon just above the keyboard. If asked to allow the app to access your photos, tap OK. Please note that you can only add images via the app, not other media such as videos. Once an image has fully uploaded, tap the image to bring up the edit overlay. Tap the image again to bring up the image details. You can edit the image title, caption, alt text, alignment, link to, or size.
